Finished off the quilt top with the triangle strips that I'd been working on over the last week. When I started this project I had one plan in mind - that of making 12" finished square blocks.....but like so many times before these blocks had a plan of their own and started to talk to me and refused to shut up until I changed my plan and did what they were asking for....LOL. This Quilt will be going to American Heros at some point. Need to finish off more tops for them first before it is sent.Have been working on the next UFO project that has been sitting on my cutting table for a couple of weeks now. This project starte
d with the strip sets that are in the center of the blocks, they were a gift from a friend. Lots of fun fabrics in them but what to do with them.....lol. Have added fabrics on either side of the strips sets, and will be setting them so that they turn in alternate directions. And if I've done everything right the last fabric added will all go in the same basic direction.Still need to think about what I want to do for the border(s) yet, but that may happen after the first of the year. I think this one will become a comfort quilt for someone that I know who is undergoing chemo at the present time.
Next project after this one will be a hugs quilt made from heart blocks.
Gratitudes:
1. Final grades are in and I did end up with 3 A's an a B! So thankful for being able to get back into the swing of school and do well!

I really love what you are doing with those triangle strips!
Contests on the good grades and Merry Christmas.
When you come back, you can post the blue wavy one finished, too! You are whipping these things out in no time at all.
Love the triangle strip sets! That gives me hope for all the triangles I cut years ago...for a 1000 pyramids quilt. I could do something similar with them and actually have finished tops!
